The Rock Band Thread vol.2: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

[Buffalo]

Well now, another week smashed out the park.
The difficulty pips...they LIE. Some 2-pippers have not been pleasant at all, and some 4-pips? Easy easy.
I will never ever EVER be able to do chords on hard in this. I need these fingers for the rest of my life man, I can’t be doing with this crippling business.

[BID0]

I’m having sync problems with my setup. I’ve installed a Philips hue sync box between my console and TV so I can get my room lights to sync with the screen but it’s adding about 100MS to my audio and video lag, making rock band almost unplayable I’m going to have to get a HDMI splitter so I can feed the sync box and still have a direct feed to my tele

[Buffalo]

Is this an attempt at a ‘I’m not about for bloodstone week’ excuse? Because we’re NOT having it.

[Buffalo]

Put a dent in my Challenge library...hopefully if the spotlights get done by people with actual skill then it should be enough.

[Corazon de Leon]

I'll smash in some scores over the weekend mate, some decent tracks this week.

[Buffalo]

I think I spoke too soon, all of the weekend players are coming out of hiding

[Corazon de Leon]

We've got a real chance of bloodstone here, two weeks to hit it after this week's promotion. I'll do what I can on the score front - can probably shove in a couple of expert guitar/bass scores if the songs aren't ultra difficult as well.

[Corazon de Leon]

Also Buff I've downloaded a few dozen songs over the last couple of weeks(mostly shite but fun to sing/a challenge), have a wee look and see if anything takes your fancy.

[Buffalo]

I thought I was the XP workhorse but you have absolutely smashed 7 bells out of it this week! Fingers crossed for bloodstone.
Also the vast majority of our crew are literal wastes of space.

[Corazon de Leon]

I think BID0 and his partner(who I think is in the crew) can't play at the moment sadly, but the other three or four guys seem content to just cruise by on our hard work. Doesn't bother me much though, just means I get to play more Rock Band.

EDIT: Help I'm Alive by Metric is out this week, which is a brilliant little song I never thought I'd see on RB. Nice surprise!

[Frank]

Boot 'em and get me back I play at least once a week

[Corazon de Leon]

If you want back in, Frank, I'll invite you right now.

[Buffalo]

What’s Bido’s partner’s gamer tag? If anyone hasn’t lifted a finger by the end of the season then they’re gone, if I can hopefully remember their activity levels.

[Corazon de Leon]

I honestly couldn't tell you, I don't really look at what others have done in the weekly challenge stuff so don't know who is who, what contributions have been made, etc.

[Frank]

If you want back in, Frank, I'll invite you right now.

That'd be great, thanks! I don't play a lot but it'd be nice to work towards something for a bit.

[BID0]

I think I've sorted my sync issue out now, played 5 songs last night with no issues. I had a fiddle last night after someone on the Philips Hue reddit said they had no problems and it turned out where I had rewired my TV I now have my Xbox running through a different HDMI and that didn't have game mode enabled pretty sure that I had checked that but apparently not. Now my video is over 100MS quicker and my audio about 80MS

I'm going to be all over that. Their first DLC song somehow!! (they were on the RB3 disc one time as that's all there is)

So I can play this week with my gf. I think I've set her and everyone from here as admins so anyone who isn't an admin can be kicked if they're idle



I wish there was a way to see peoples activity. You can only see the current week which makes it difficult.

[Corazon de Leon]

Vocal track on it looks strong as well. I was massive on Metric when I was in the states - that song and Gold Guns Girls were playing all over the place, randomly.

Yeh Help I'm Alive is one of my favs of theirs although probably not a good one for Rock Band outside of vocals still buying though. Monster Hospital is another one I've requested a lot

And we need Black Sheep

[Corazon de Leon]

Is that Metric filling in for Clash at Demonhead? I had no idea!

Now that I hear it, it definitely is. Makes sense as well, given the film is set in Toronto and that's where they're based.

On a different note, I've finally made it through the majority of the songs I got from Buff. Just some AC/DC and the accursed full version of 2112 to get through. Might finally crack the top 100 of the money league - overall full combos - soon.

[Buffalo]

Go on young’un!!

Leafed through your frankly enormous list of tunes again and picked up some of the stuff that has been in the season pass.
